Errol and Hedwig

Errol is the Weasleys' owl. He is a very old owl and is often described as not quite fit to deliver letters anymore.

From the Story[]

Discovered in Book 2, Chapter 4, At Flourish and Blotts[]

"Errol is the Weasley family’s elderly and unreliable owl. He has a tendency to collapse during deliveries."

Discovered in Book 3, Chapter 1, Owl Post[]

"Errol keels over and lies motionless when he arrives with the other owls carrying Harry's gift from Ron. Harry carries him over to Hedwig's cage whereupon the owl gives a feeble hoot of thanks and begins to gulp some water."

Discovered in Book 4, Chapter 3, The Invitation[]

"Errol delivers a huge fruitcake and several pasties to Harry from Mrs Weasley. He is so exhausted by the journey that he needs a full five days to recover before he can fly back to The Burrow."
